Front License Plate Mounting

landtoy80 · Jul 23, 2007

I got plates today and the Supra has never had a front plate mounted.
What do I need to do to mount the front plate?
I assume I drill and install a nut and bolt????

There should be two bolt holes on the stock bumper that you attach the license plate to. If not just drill two holes...

landtoy80 · Jul 23, 2007

There are no holes, just a dimple where you would drill one.
Maybe the bumper is not original or OEM???

I wonder if there is threaded metal in behind?

You have a picture of the bumper. (if it isn't stock, since most have the holes pre-drilled)

You could mount it under the lip as I did and put it to the side..? JDM yo!

i dont think theres predrilled holes mine has 2 holes drilled in it and my maroon cars front bumper doesnt it just has the dimples.

so i guess you gotta drill some holes. or zip tie it to the grill.

my original bumper was never drilled out either. I'm not about to drill mine out now. You can though. Or, go to Home Depot and build a bracket and mount it behind the bumper for the plate to attach to.

DONT DO IT!

Duane's got mad tight JDM skillz. He's so JDM, he sleeps on the right side of the bed.

Sorry for thread hijack.

Why are you mounting it anyway? If there are no holes, and you can get away with not having it, do it. It looks so much cleaner without.

Actually, it is the law to have a plate mounted to the front of the car here.

:wtf:

Ckanderson · Jul 23, 2007

it's the "law" here too.

I dont run one.

Yes but it only gives them a reason to pull me over and when that happens they like to check other things :nono:
